    I just can’t believe he actually sat in there for two weeks. Can you imagine this happening to a player with a higher profile?

    It's certainly out of sync with what I think would have been a reasonable outcome.

    Fixed.

    It's confounding neither club nor league have been more vocal or active in their advocacy while a young, black player sits in a cell for something industry peers have had handled with fines and if they're truly unlucky, suspensions.

    It's shameful.

    I have this vision of the AFL and Richmond putting it in the “too hard/better things to do” basket over their Christmas breaks. I just can’t understand how else he wasn’t out in a day (or that he even went in at all).

    OK.
    Can I just say the situation is a bit more complicated than that and both Richmond and the PA have been left without much of a leg to stand on? I can't/don't want to go into depth on why this is the case but I am confident that both parties already mentioned and Syd's own manager would have been shouting from the rooftops if they could...
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    So the AFL put the mute on its subsidiaries?
    Disgrace if so.
